The price of something in EQ is 100% dependent on what people are willing to spend on available items.

The only reason for the price difference is the availability of key items and clearly one is more available than another. It's only rational to get the highest price you can as a seller and the lowest price as a buyer. This tug of war is a very good thing.
Also, there are no down sides to free markets when compared to the alternatives, such as command economy, communism, corporatism (what we mostly have globally). If you think the western world has a free market model you are reta... uninformed.

Exactly right, we have been marching toward global corporate socialism ever since " The War of Northern Aggression" ended. Sad days for our future.
